Hi and welcome to Sabir reasons malicious life. I'm Ran Levy.

This is part two of our mini-series on Not Petia.

Amid Serper lives in Boston, but on June 27th, 2017 he was on a trip.

So, at the day that not Petya happened, I was actually at the Seaberese and Tel Aviv office.

I had some meetings and after the meetings I was driving back to

my my parents house which was about a 30-25-30-minute drive away from the office and

and when I was as I was in the car I was listening to the

radio and the news was on and in the news in Israel they were reporting about a

new cyber attack that basically shut down

transportation in the Ukraine and it's starting to spread to other countries

and they're seeing various systems being hit with it in other countries.

So when I got to my parents house I was sitting in their living room and I was talking to my dad and my dad was watching the news he was like hey did you see that that new cyber attack what you have to say on it and obviously my my dad is in his 70s

He's not a cyber guy. He doesn't really know anything about computers, but he started asking me questions about it.

And I told him, you know what, that I don't know, but I have my computer here and I have most and most but not all of my tools

here so let me take a look as the entire world's cybersecurity community and many outside of it were wrapped by the phenomena of Not Petia,

Amid Serper on a trip to visit his family decided to take a look at the code himself.

But this is not one of those situations

where finally the genius expert swoops in to save the day.

Amit is indeed a cyber security analyst,

but he was not in a position to do much with Nath Petia.

My focus back then was actually Mac OS. I was working on building the Cypriot

Mac OS product, wasn't really looking into Windows malware or malware at all actually.
